FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to novel compounds, compositions comprising the same, and applications of the compounds and compositions, including organic electroluminescent devices comprising the compounds and/or compositions.

JOINT RESEARCH AGREEMENT

The claimed inventions were made by, on behalf of, and/or in connection with one or more of the following parties to a joint university corporation research agreement: University of Southern California, and the Universal Display Corporation. The agreement was in effect on and before the date the claimed inventions were made, and the claimed inventions were made as a result of activities undertaken within the scope of the agreement.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Generally, an OLED comprises at least one organic layer disposed between and electrically connected to an anode and a cathode. When a current is applied, the anode injects holes and the cathode injects electrons into the organic layer(s). The injected holes and electrons each migrate toward the oppositely charged electrode. When an electron and hole localize on the same molecule, an “exciton,” which is a localized electron-hole pair having an excited energy state, is formed. Light is emitted when the exciton relaxes via a photoemissive mechanism. In some cases, the exciton may be localized on an excimer or an exciplex. Non-radiative mechanisms, such as thermal relaxation, may also occur, but are generally considered undesirable.

The initial OLEDs used emissive molecules that emitted light from their singlet states (“fluorescence”) as disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,769,292, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Fluorescent emission generally occurs in a time frame of less than 10 nanoseconds.

More recently, OLEDs having emissive materials that emit light from triplet states (“phosphorescence”) have been demonstrated. Baldo et al., “Highly Efficient Phosphorescent Emission from Organic Electroluminescent Devices,” Nature, vol. 395, 151-154, 1998; (“Baldo-I”) and Baldo et al., “Very high-efficiency green organic light-emitting devices based on electrophosphorescence,” Appl. Phys. Lett., vol. 75, No. 3, 4-6 (1999) (“Baldo-II”), which are incorporated by reference in their entireties. Phosphorescence may be referred to as a “forbidden” transition because the transition requires a change in spin states, and quantum mechanics indicates that such a transition is not favored. As a result, phosphorescence generally occurs in a time frame exceeding at least 10 nanoseconds, and typically greater than 100 nanoseconds. If the natural radiative lifetime of phosphorescence is too long, triplets may decay by a non-radiative mechanism, such that no light is emitted. Organic phosphorescence is also often observed in molecules containing heteroatoms with unshared pairs of electrons at very low temperatures. 2,2′-bipyridine is such a molecule. Non-radiative decay mechanisms are typically temperature dependent, such that an organic material that exhibits phosphorescence at liquid nitrogen temperatures typically does not exhibit phosphorescence at room temperature. But, as demonstrated by Baldo, this problem may be addressed by selecting phosphorescent compounds that do phosphoresce at room temperature. Representative emissive layers include doped or un-doped phosphorescent organometallic materials such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,303,238; 6,310,360; 6,830,828 and 6,835,469; U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2002-0182441; and WO 2002/074015.

Phosphorescence may be preceded by a transition from a triplet excited state to an intermediate non-triplet state from which the emissive decay occurs. For example, organic molecules coordinated to lanthanide elements often phosphoresce from excited states localized on the lanthanide metal. However, such materials do not phosphoresce directly from a triplet excited state but instead emit from an atomic excited state centered on the lanthanide metal ion. The europium diketonate complexes illustrate one group of these types of species.

Phosphorescence from triplets can be enhanced over fluorescence by confining, preferably through bonding, the organic molecule in close proximity to an atom of high atomic number. This phenomenon, called the heavy atom effect, is created by a mechanism known as spin-orbit coupling. Such a phosphorescent transition may be observed from an excited metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) state of an organometallic molecule such as tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(III).

Opto-electronic devices that make use of organic materials are becoming increasingly desirable for a number of reasons. Many of the materials used to make such devices are relatively inexpensive, so organic opto-electronic devices have the potential for cost advantages over inorganic devices. In addition, the inherent properties of organic materials, such as their flexibility, may make them well suited for particular applications such as fabrication on a flexible substrate. Examples of organic opto-electronic devices include organic light emitting devices (OLEDs), organic phototransistors, organic photovoltaic cells, and organic photodetectors. For OLEDs, the organic materials may have performance advantages over conventional materials. For example, the wavelength at which an organic emissive layer emits light may generally be readily tuned with appropriate dopants.

OLEDs make use of thin organic films that emit light when voltage is applied across the device. OLEDs are becoming an increasingly interesting technology for use in applications such as flat panel displays, illumination, and backlighting. Several OLED materials and configurations are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,844,363, 6,303,238, and 5,707,745, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

One application for phosphorescent emissive molecules is a full color display. Industry standards for such a display call for pixels adapted to emit particular colors, referred to as “saturated” colors. In particular, these standards call for saturated red, green, and blue pixels. Alternatively, the OLED can be designed to emit white light. In conventional liquid crystal displays, emission from a white backlight is filtered using absorption filters to produce red, green and blue emission. The same technique can also be used with OLEDs. The white OLED can be either a single EML device or a stacked structure. Color may be measured using CIE coordinates, which are well known to the art.

One example of a green emissive molecule is tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium, denoted Ir(ppy)₃, which has the following structure:

In this, and later figures herein, we depict the dative bond from nitrogen to metal (here, Ir) as a straight line.

As used herein, the term “organic” includes polymeric materials as well as small molecule organic materials that may be used to fabricate organic opto-electronic devices. “Small molecule” refers to any organic material that is not a polymer, and “small molecules” may actually be quite large. Small molecules may include repeat units in some circumstances. For example, using a long chain alkyl group as a substituent does not remove a molecule from the “small molecule” class. Small molecules may also be incorporated into polymers, for example as a pendent group on a polymer backbone or as a part of the backbone. Small molecules may also serve as the core moiety of a dendrimer, which consists of a series of chemical shells built on the core moiety. The core moiety of a dendrimer may be a fluorescent or phosphorescent small molecule emitter. A dendrimer may be a “small molecule,” and it is believed that all dendrimers currently used in the field of OLEDs are small molecules.

As used herein, “top” means furthest away from the substrate, while “bottom” means closest to the substrate. Where a first layer is described as “disposed over” a second layer, the first layer is disposed further away from substrate. There may be other layers between the first and second layer, unless it is specified that the first layer is “in contact with” the second layer. For example, a cathode may be described as “disposed over” an anode, even though there are various organic layers in between.

As used herein, “solution processible” means capable of being dissolved, dispersed, or transported in and/or deposited from a liquid medium, either in solution or suspension form.

A ligand may be referred to as “photoactive” when it is believed that the ligand directly contributes to the photoactive properties of an emissive material. A ligand may be referred to as “ancillary” when it is believed that the ligand does not contribute to the photoactive properties of an emissive material, although an ancillary ligand may alter the properties of a photoactive ligand.

As used herein, and as would be generally understood by one skilled in the art, a first “Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital” (HOMO) or “Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital” (LUMO) energy level is “greater than” or “higher than” a second HOMO or LUMO energy level if the first energy level is closer to the vacuum energy level. Since ionization potentials (IP) are measured as a negative energy relative to a vacuum level, a higher HOMO energy level corresponds to an IP having a smaller absolute value (an IP that is less negative). Similarly, a higher LUMO energy level corresponds to an electron affinity (EA) having a smaller absolute value (an EA that is less negative). On a conventional energy level diagram, with the vacuum level at the top, the LUMO energy level of a material is higher than the HOMO energy level of the same material. A “higher” HOMO or LUMO energy level appears closer to the top of such a diagram than a “lower” HOMO or LUMO energy level.

As used herein, and as would be generally understood by one skilled in the art, a first work function is “greater than” or “higher than” a second work function if the first work function has a higher absolute value. Because work functions are generally measured as negative numbers relative to vacuum level, this means that a “higher” work function is more negative. On a conventional energy level diagram, with the vacuum level at the top, a “higher” work function is illustrated as further away from the vacuum level in the downward direction. Thus, the definitions of HOMO and LUMO energy levels follow a different convention than work functions.

More details on OLEDs, and the definitions described above, can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 7,279,704, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Generally, an OLED comprises at least one organic layer disposed between and electrically connected to an anode and a cathode. When a current is applied, the anode injects holes and the cathode injects electrons into the organic layer(s). The injected holes and electrons each migrate toward the oppositely charged electrode. When an electron and hole localize on the same molecule, an “exciton,” which is a localized electron-hole pair having an excited energy state, is formed. Light is emitted when the exciton relaxes via a photoemissive mechanism. In some cases, the exciton may be localized on an excimer or an exciplex. Non-radiative mechanisms, such as thermal relaxation, may also occur, but are generally considered undesirable.

The initial OLEDs used emissive molecules that emitted light from their singlet states (“fluorescence”) as disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,769,292, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Fluorescent emission generally occurs in a time frame of less than 10 nanoseconds.

More recently, OLEDs having emissive materials that emit light from triplet states (“phosphorescence”) have been demonstrated. Baldo et al., “Highly Efficient Phosphorescent Emission from Organic Electroluminescent Devices,” Nature, vol. 395, 151-154, 1998; (“Baldo-I”) and Baldo et al., “Very high-efficiency green organic light-emitting devices based on electrophosphorescence,” Appl. Phys. Lett., vol. 75, No. 3, 4-6 (1999) (“Baldo-II”), which are incorporated by reference in their entireties. Phosphorescence is described in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 7,279,704 at cols. 5-6, which are incorporated by reference.

Imidazophenanthridines are useful ligands that can provide 460 nm emission when ligated to both platinum and iridium metals. Phosphorescent imidazophenanthridine complexes can provide deep blue emission with tunable photoluminescent quantum yield ranging from nearly zero to unity. Unfortunately, the device lifetime is limited for both iridium and platinum based blue-emitting complexes. We provide a strategy herein to improve the stability of the imidazophenanthridine ligand by addressing a bond on the ligand that is shown by computational theory, mass spec fragmentation analysis, and photooxidative studies to be a weak bond due to polycyclic ring strain and electronic structure.

FIG. 1 shows an organic light emitting device 100. The figures are not necessarily drawn to scale. Device 100 may include a substrate 110, an anode 115, a hole injection layer 120, a hole transport layer 125, an electron blocking layer 130, an emissive layer 135, a hole blocking layer 140, an electron transport layer 145, an electron injection layer 150, a protective layer 155, a cathode 160, and a barrier layer 170. Cathode 160 is a compound cathode having a first conductive layer 162 and a second conductive layer 164. Device 100 may be fabricated by depositing the layers described, in order. The properties and functions of these various layers, as well as example materials, are described in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 7,279,704 at cols. 6-10, which are incorporated by reference.

More examples for each of these layers are available. For example, a flexible and transparent substrate-anode combination is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,844,363, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. An example of a p-doped hole transport layer is m-MTDATA doped with F4-TCNQ at a molar ratio of 50:1, as disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0230980, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Examples of emissive and host materials are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,303,238 to Thompson et al., which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. An example of an n-doped electron transport layer is BPhen doped with Li at a molar ratio of 1:1, as disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0230980, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,703,436 and 5,707,745, which are incorporated by reference in their entireties, disclose examples of cathodes including compound cathodes having a thin layer of metal such as Mg:Ag with an overlying transparent, electrically-conductive, sputter-deposited ITO layer. The theory and use of blocking layers is described in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 6,097,147 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0230980, which are incorporated by reference in their entireties. Examples of injection layers are provided in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0174116, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. A description of protective layers may be found in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0174116, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

FIG. 2 shows an inverted OLED 200. The device includes a substrate 210, a cathode 215, an emissive layer 220, a hole transport layer 225, and an anode 230. Device 200 may be fabricated by depositing the layers described, in order. Because the most common OLED configuration has a cathode disposed over the anode, and device 200 has cathode 215 disposed under anode 230, device 200 may be referred to as an “inverted” OLED. Materials similar to those described with respect to device 100 may be used in the corresponding layers of device 200. FIG. 2 provides one example of how some layers may be omitted from the structure of device 100.

The simple layered structure illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 is provided by way of non-limiting example, and it is understood that embodiments of the invention may be used in connection with a wide variety of other structures. The specific materials and structures described are exemplary in nature, and other materials and structures may be used. Functional OLEDs may be achieved by combining the various layers described in different ways, or layers may be omitted entirely, based on design, performance, and cost factors. Other layers not specifically described may also be included. Materials other than those specifically described may be used. Although many of the examples provided herein describe various layers as comprising a single material, it is understood that combinations of materials, such as a mixture of host and dopant, or more generally a mixture, may be used. Also, the layers may have various sublayers. The names given to the various layers herein are not intended to be strictly limiting. For example, in device 200, hole transport layer 225 transports holes and injects holes into emissive layer 220, and may be described as a hole transport layer or a hole injection layer. In one embodiment, an OLED may be described as having an “organic layer” disposed between a cathode and an anode. This organic layer may comprise a single layer, or may further comprise multiple layers of different organic materials as described, for example, with respect to FIGS. 1 and 2.

Structures and materials not specifically described may also be used, such as OLEDs comprised of polymeric materials (PLEDs) such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,247,190 to Friend et al., which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. By way of further example, OLEDs having a single organic layer may be used. OLEDs may be stacked, for example as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,707,745 to Forrest et al, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. The OLED structure may deviate from the simple layered structure illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. For example, the substrate may include an angled reflective surface to improve out-coupling, such as a mesa structure as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,091,195 to Forrest et al., and/or a pit structure as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,834,893 to Bulovic et al., which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.

Unless otherwise specified, any of the layers of the various embodiments may be deposited by any suitable method. For the organic layers, preferred methods include thermal evaporation, ink-jet, such as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,013,982 and 6,087,196, which are incorporated by reference in their entireties, organic vapor phase deposition (OVPD), such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,337,102 to Forrest et al., which is incorporated by reference in its entirety, and deposition by organic vapor jet printing (OVJP), such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,431,968, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Other suitable deposition methods include spin coating and other solution based processes. Solution based processes are preferably carried out in nitrogen or an inert atmosphere. For the other layers, preferred methods include thermal evaporation. Preferred patterning methods include deposition through a mask, cold welding such as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,294,398 and 6,468,819, which are incorporated by reference in their entireties, and patterning associated with some of the deposition methods such as ink-jet and OVJD. Other methods may also be used. The materials to be deposited may be modified to make them compatible with a particular deposition method. For example, substituents such as alkyl and aryl groups, branched or unbranched, and preferably containing at least 3 carbons, may be used in small molecules to enhance their ability to undergo solution processing. Substituents having 20 carbons or more may be used, and 3-20 carbons is a preferred range. Materials with asymmetric structures may have better solution processibility than those having symmetric structures, because asymmetric materials may have a lower tendency to recrystallize. Dendrimer substituents may be used to enhance the ability of small molecules to undergo solution processing.

Devices fabricated in accordance with embodiments of the present invention may further optionally comprise a barrier layer. One purpose of the barrier layer is to protect the electrodes and organic layers from damaging exposure to harmful species in the environment including moisture, vapor and/or gases, etc. The barrier layer may be deposited over, under or next to a substrate, an electrode, or over any other parts of a device including an edge. The barrier layer may comprise a single layer, or multiple layers. The barrier layer may be formed by various known chemical vapor deposition techniques and may include compositions having a single phase as well as compositions having multiple phases. Any suitable material or combination of materials may be used for the barrier layer. The barrier layer may incorporate an inorganic or an organic compound or both. The preferred barrier layer comprises a mixture of a polymeric material and a non-polymeric material as described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,968,146, PCT Pat. Application Nos. PCT/US2007/023098 and PCT/US2009/042829, which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties. To be considered a “mixture”, the aforesaid polymeric and non-polymeric materials comprising the barrier layer should be deposited under the same reaction conditions and/or at the same time. The weight ratio of polymeric to non-polymeric material may be in the range of 95:5 to 5:95. The polymeric material and the non-polymeric material may be created from the same precursor material. In one example, the mixture of a polymeric material and a non-polymeric material consists essentially of polymeric silicon and inorganic silicon.

Devices fabricated in accordance with embodiments of the invention can be incorporated into a wide variety of electronic component modules (or units) that can be incorporated into a variety of electronic products or intermediate components. Examples of such electronic products or intermediate components include display screens, lighting devices such as discrete light source devices or lighting panels, etc. that can be utilized by the end-user product manufacturers. Such electronic component modules can optionally include the driving electronics and/or power source(s).

Additionally, the aryl group may be optionally substituted.

As used herein, the term “heteroaryl” means an optionally substituted monoyclic or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon having at least one heteroatom and at least one carbon atom. In some embodiments, the at least one heteroatom is selected from nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, selenium, and sulfur. Specific examples of heteroaryl include, but are not limited to, furyl, benzofuranyl, thiophenyl, benzothiophenyl, pyrrolyl, indolyl, isoindolyl, azaindolyl, pyridyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, oxazolyl, isooxazolyl, benzoxazolyl, pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, benzimidazolyl, thiazolyl, benzothiazolyl, isothiazolyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, triazinyl, cinnolinyl, phthalazinyl, and quinazolinyl.

The alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, heterocyclic group, aryl, and heteroaryl may be optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium, halogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, heteroalkyl, arylalkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, amino, cyclic amino, silyl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, heteroalkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl, acyl, carbonyl, carboxylic acid, ether, ester, nitrile, isonitrile, sulfanyl, sulfinyl, sulfonyl, phosphino, and combinations thereof.

The terms “substituted” and “substitution” refer to a substituent other than H that is bonded to the relevant position, e.g., a carbon or nitrogen. For example, when R¹ represents mono-substitution, then one R¹ must be other than H (i.e., a substitution). Similarly, when R¹ represents di-substitution, then two of R¹ must be other than H. Similarly, when R¹ represents no substitution, R¹, for example, can be a hydrogen for available valencies of ring atoms, as in carbon atoms for benzene and the nitrogen atom in pyrrole, or simply represents nothing for ring atoms with fully filled valencies, e.g., the nitrogen atom in pyridine. The maximum number of substitutions possible in a ring structure will depend on the total number of available valencies in the ring atoms.

As used herein, “combinations thereof” indicates that one or more members of the applicable list are combined to form a known or chemically stable arrangement that one of ordinary skill in the art can envision from the applicable list. For example, an alkyl and deuterium can be combined to form a partial or fully deuterated alkyl group; a halogen and alkyl can be combined to form a halogenated alkyl substituent; and a halogen, alkyl, and aryl can be combined to form a halogenated arylalkyl. In one instance, the term substitution includes a combination of two to four of the listed groups. In another instance, the term substitution includes a combination of two to three groups. In yet another instance, the term substitution includes a combination of two groups. Preferred combinations of substituent groups are those that contain up to fifty atoms that are not hydrogen or deuterium, or those which include up to forty atoms that are not hydrogen or deuterium, or those that include up to thirty atoms that are not hydrogen or deuterium. In many instances, a preferred combination of substituent groups will include up to twenty atoms that are not hydrogen or deuterium.

The “aza” designation in the fragments described herein, i.e. aza-dibenzofuran, aza-dibenzothiophene, etc. means that one or more of the C—H groups in the respective aromatic ring can be replaced by a nitrogen atom, for example, and without any limitation, azatriphenylene encompasses both dibenzo[fh]quinoxaline and dibenzo[fh]quinoline. One of ordinary skill in the art can readily envision other nitrogen analogs of the aza-derivatives described above, and all such analogs are intended to be encompassed by the terms as set forth herein.

It is to be understood that when a molecular fragment is described as being a substituent or otherwise attached to another moiety, its name may be written as if it were a fragment (e.g. phenyl, phenylene, naphthyl, dibenzofuryl) or as if it were the whole molecule (e.g. benzene, naphthalene, dibenzofuran). As used herein, these different ways of designating a substituent or attached fragment are considered to be equivalent.

As used herein, and as would be generally understood by one skilled in the art, a first “Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital” (HOMO) or “Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital” (LUMO) energy level is “greater than” or “higher than” a second HOMO or LUMO energy level if the first energy level is closer to the vacuum energy level. Since ionization potentials (IP) are measured as a negative energy relative to a vacuum level, a higher HOMO energy level corresponds to an IP having a smaller absolute value (an IP that is less negative). Similarly, a higher LUMO energy level corresponds to an electron affinity (EA) having a smaller absolute value (an EA that is less negative). On a conventional energy level diagram, with the vacuum level at the top, the LUMO energy level of a material is higher than the HOMO energy level of the same material. A “higher” HOMO or LUMO energy level appears closer to the top of such a diagram than a “lower” HOMO or LUMO energy level.

As used herein, the term “triplet energy” refers to an energy corresponding to the highest energy feature discernable in the phosphorescence spectrum of a given material. The highest energy feature is not necessarily the peak having the greatest intensity in the phosphorescence spectrum, and could, for example, be a local maximum of a clear shoulder on the high energy side of such a peak.

X¹⁰¹ to X¹⁰⁸ is selected from C (including CH) or N. Z¹⁰¹ and Z¹⁰² is selected from NR¹⁰¹, O, or S.

HBL:

A hole blocking layer (HBL) may be used to reduce the number of holes and/or excitons that leave the emissive layer. The presence of such a blocking layer in a device may result in substantially higher efficiencies and/or longer lifetime as compared to a similar device lacking a blocking layer. Also, a blocking layer may be used to confine emission to a desired region of an OLED. In some embodiments, the HBL material has a lower HOMO and or higher triplet energy than the emitter closest to the HBL interface.

wherein k is an integer from 1 to 20; L¹⁰¹ is an another ligand, k′ is an integer from 1 to 3.

ETL:

Electron transport layer (ETL) may include a material capable of transporting electrons. Electron transport layer may be intrinsic (undoped), or doped. Doping may be used to enhance conductivity. Examples of the ETL material are not particularly limited, and any metal complexes or organic compounds may be used as long as they are typically used to transport electrons.

Charge Generation Layer (CGL):

In tandem or stacked OLEDs, the CGL plays an essential role in the performance, which is composed of an n-doped layer and a p-doped layer for injection of electrons and holes, respectively. Electrons and holes are supplied from the CGL and electrodes. The consumed electrons and holes in the CGL are refilled by the electrons and holes injected from the cathode and anode, respectively; then, the bipolar currents reach a steady state gradually. Typical CGL materials include n and p conductivity dopants used in the transport layers.

In any above-mentioned compounds used in each layer of the OLED device, the hydrogen atoms can be partially or fully deuterated. Thus, any specifically listed substituent, such as, without limitation, methyl, phenyl, pyridyl, etc. encompasses undeuterated, partially deuterated, and fully deuterated versions thereof. Similarly, classes of substituents such as, without limitation, alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, heteroaryl, etc. also encompass undeuterated, partially deuterated, and fully deuterated versions thereof.

In addition to and/or in combination with the materials disclosed herein, many hole injection materials, hole transporting materials, host materials, dopant materials, exciton/hole blocking layer materials, electron transporting and electron injecting materials may be used in an OLED. Non-limiting examples of the materials that may be used in an OLED in combination with materials disclosed herein are listed in Table A below. Table A lists non-limiting classes of materials, non-limiting examples of compounds for each class, and references that disclose the materials.

The invention is explained in greater detail by the following examples, without wishing to restrict it thereby. The person skilled in the art will be able to produce further electronic devices on the basis of the descriptions without inventive step and will thus be able to carry out the invention throughout the range claimed.

EXAMPLES

The following syntheses are carried out, unless indicated otherwise, in dried solvents under a protective-gas atmosphere. The metal complexes are additionally handled with exclusion of light. The solvents and reagents can be purchased, for example, from Sigma-ALDRICH or ABCR.

Example 1: Synthesis of 3,4-dihydrodibenzo[b,ij]imidazo[2,1,5-de]quinolizine was prepared in accordance with Scheme 1

A. Synthesis of 4-chlorobutanal

A solution of oxalyl chloride (22.54 ml, 263 mmol) in DCM (400 ml) was cooled in an ^(j)PrOH/CO₂ bath. DMSO (37.3 ml, 525 mmol) was slowly via syringe and stirred cold for 1 hour. A solution of 4-chlorobutan-1-ol (19 g, 175 mmol) in 50 mL DCM was added dropwise. The col mixture was stirred for one hour, then, triethylamine (110 ml, 788 mmol) was slowly added. The suspension was stirred cold for 30 minutes, then allowed to warm to room temperature. The reaction was quenched with water, acidified and organics separated. Solvent removal followed by distillation yielded the product as a colorless oil, 8 g.

B. Synthesis of 2-bromo-4-chlorobutanal

4-chlorobutanal (7.939 g, 74.5 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (300 ml) and cooled in an ice bath. A solution of dibromine (4.00 ml, 78 mmol) in DCM (50 ml) was added over about 1 hr. After addition the red solution was stirred cold for 30 minutes, then warmed slowly to room temperature and stirred one more hour. Water was added, the organics were separated, and drying and solvent removal yielded the crude product as a pale yellow oil, 1.57 g (80%).

C. Synthesis of 4-bromophenanthridin-6-amine

2,6-dibromoaniline (15.33 g, 61.1 mmol), 2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzonitrile (7.0 g, 30.6 mmol), and potassium phosphate monohydrate (21.11 g, 92 mmol) were combined in dioxane (120 ml) and water (7.49 ml). The mixture was degassed, then added (dppf)PdCl₂ complex with DCM (0.749 g, 0.917 mmol) was added and the mixture was refluxed for 4 hours. The black mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and water/brine. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried, and solvent was removed. Dissolution in 500 mL EtOAc followed by elution through a silica plug using EtOAc and solvent removal yielded an orange residue that was purified by column chromatography to yield the product as a yellow/orange solid, 5.86 g, 70%.

D. Synthesis of 5-bromo-3-(2-chloroethyl)imidazo[1,2-f]phenanthridine

4-bromophenanthridin-6-amine (5.86, 21.46 mmol), 2-bromo-4-chlorobutanal (5.36 g, 28.9 mmol), and sodium bicarbonate (3.60 g, 42.9 mmol) were combined in 2-propanol (102 ml) and water (5.11 ml). The suspension was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours, then at reflux for 16 hours. Solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue coated on celite. Column chromatography yielded a mixture of the product and starting amidine, which was treated with excess acetyl chloride and triethylamine in DCM. After workup the desired product was extracted from the acetamide by repeated extraction into heptanes, yielding 3.93 g of yellow, tacky residue (51%).

E. Synthesis of 3,4-dihydrodibenzo[b,ij]imidazo[2,1,5-de]quinolizine

5-bromo-3-((2-chloroethyl)imidazo[1,2-f]phenanthridine (3.93 g, 10.93 mmol) was dissolved in THF (200 ml), cooled in an ice bath, and isopropylmagnesium chloride solution in THF (2.0M, 6.01 ml, 12.02 mmol) was slowly added. The solution was stirred for 30 minutes cold, then warmed to room temperature and stirred for 2 more hours. The reaction was quenched, extracted into DCM, and the reaction product was purified using column chromatography to yield 1.90 g of a pale beige, crystalline solid (71%).

An X-ray structure of 3,4-dihydrodibenzo[b,ij]imidazo[2,1,5-de]quinolizine is shown in FIG. 5. The crystal structure of 3,4-dihydrodibenzo[b,ij]imidazo[2,1,5-de]quinolizine may be defined by one or more of the characteristics listed in the following table.

The ligands above are prepared in accordance with Scheme 2 below.

A. Synthesis of 5-bromoimidazo[1,2-f]phenanthridine

4-bromophenanthridin-6-amine (4.0 g, 14.7 mmol) was dissolved in 100 mL of iPrOH. Chloroacetaldehyde (50% in water, 3.6 g, 22 mmol, 1.5 equiv.) was added, followed by NaHCO₃ (2.5 g, 2 equiv.), and the mixture was refluxed for 2 hours, then cooled in an ice bath. The tan solid was filtered off, washing with MeOH. The receiving flask was changed and the solid was washed with water, resulting in clean, off-white product, 3.2 g. The aqueous washes were extracted with EtOAc and these extracts were combined with the alcoholic washes from the initial filtration. Solvent was removed to yield 1.3 g of an orange solid which was recrystallized from EtOAc, yielding more clean product as tan needles, 0.46 g. Total yield: 3.5 g (80%).

B. Synthesis of 3,5-dibromoimidazo[1,2-f]phenanthridine

Dissolved 5-bromoimidazo[1,2-f]phenanthridine (2.0 g, 6.73 mmol) in DMF (125 ml), then added a solution of NBS (1.318 g, 7.40 mmol) in 10 mL of DMF slowly under nitrogen. After stirring for 3 hours at room temperature, then gentle heating for 16 hours, the reaction mixture was partitioned between 300 mL of water and EtOAc. The aqueous layer was further extracted with EtOAc, the organics washed with water, and the product was isolated by column chromatography as a pale yellow solid, 1.99 g (79%).

C. Synthesis of 5-bromo-3-((chloromethyl)dimethylsilyl)imidazo[1,2-f]phenanthridine

3,5-dibromoimidazo[1,2-f]phenanthridine (0.48 g, 1.28 mmol) and chloro(chloromethyl)dimethylsilane (0.17 ml, 1.28 mmol) were dissolved in in THF (25 ml) and cooled in iPrOH/CO₂ bath.

A solution of 10-((9-(4-isopropylpyridin-2-yl)-9H-carbazol-2-yl)oxy)-6-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-dibenzo[b,ij]imidazo[2,1,5-de]quinolizine (350 mg, 0.564 mmol, 1 equiv) glacial acetic acid (60 mL) was sparged with argon for 40 minutes. K₂PtCl₄ (234 mg, 0.564 mmol, 1 equiv) was added and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 16 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the yellow-greenish precipitate was filtered and washed sequentially with water (4×15 mL) and heptanes (2×10 mL) and dried under vacuum at 20° C. for 18 hours. The crude product was dissolved in dichloromethane (500 mL) and passed through a plug of silica gel 10 g) to remove residual K₂PtCl₄. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with a 1 to 1 mixture of dichloromethane and heptanes (20 mL), filtered and washed with dichloromethane (2×3 mL) to give Compound 108 (40 mg, yield 8.7% yield, 83.2%).

DISCUSSION

The general structure of one embodiment of the metal-coordinated imidazophenanthridine ligand is shown below. The bonds of interest in the computational study are the four carbon-nitrogen (C—N) single bonds. They are labeled as C—N₁, C—N₂, C—N_(ph) for the nitrogen that has three single C—N bonds, and C—N_(m) for the nitrogen that is coordinated to the metal.

Geometry optimizations of all complexes and ligands were performed in the Gaussian 09 software package using the hybrid B3LYP functional with the CEP-31 g effective core potential basis set. All results use this method unless otherwise stated in the results and discussion.

Bond strengths were calculated by breaking a bond to form a diradical species on the imidazophenanthridine ligand. The bond-broken diradical species was calculated as a triplet state as this is normally lower in energy than a diradical singlet and therefore the more likely product formed in a bond breaking event. Calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-31 g(d) level and thermodynamics reported for the ground state singlet→bond broken triplet and a lowest energy triplet (excited state) bond broken triplet.

Calculated TD-DFT values for the lowest triplet excited state (T1) were also performed at the B3LYP/CEP-31 g level of theory but included the CPCM continuum solvent field using THF as the solvent which has been shown to better match experimental results.

Bond strength calculations were performed on the following compounds:

Calculated bond strengths are shown in Table 1.

Table 1 shows calculated bond strengths for a series of comparative examples and invention Compound 1. Where two numbers are seen in the same cell, the top number represents the thermodynamic difference between the excited state triplet→bond broken triplet. The lower number represents the ground state singlet→bond broken triplet. If there is only one number in the cell, it represents the triplet→triplet bond strength (T→T). For all comparative compounds 1-4, the C—N₁ bond is shown to be the weakest bond. Bond strengths are found to be weaker in the excited triplet state compared to the ground state singlet. This is due to the complex having the energy of the excited state available as the starting point to the, generally, higher energy bond broken state. In some cases, as shown for comparative compound 2 and 3, the bond broken state is lower in energy than the starting triplet state. Therefore a bond breaking event may be considered thermodynamically favorable or exothermic. It is found that when aryl substitutions are added at the C—N₁ bond carbon atom, the bond strength decreases, as seen comparing comparative compound 1 to comparative compounds 2 and 3. This effect may be due to resonance stabilization of the radical species at the bond breaking site which is stabilized by the aryl substitution.

Stabilization of the weak C—N₁ bond can be achieved by a linking substitution that links the C—N₁ carbon to the carbon on the adjacent fused aryl ring as depicted by “A” in Formula (1a). This linking group is preferably comprised of elements that provide the proper structural geometry to form a bridge across the two carbons of the phenanthridine ring system, providing the necessary rigidity to stabilize the C—N₁ bond while not lowering the triplet energy of the resulting ligand and complex.

The effect of the stabilizing linker is shown in Table 1 for invention Compound 1. Here the triplet C—N₁ bond strength has greatly improved from 11.81 kcal/mol, for the analogous comparative Compound 1, to 35.38 kcal/mol for the invention compound, an increase in theromodynmic bond strength of >20 kcal/mol. The two carbon linking substituent prevents the ligand from being able to obtain the appropriate relaxed geometry of a CN₁ bond broken state. Importantly, the triplet energy is not affected by this substitution as both invention Compound 1 and Comparative Compound 1 both have identical triplet energies of 468 nm by calculation.

The minimized non bond-broken and bond-broken geometries of comparative example 1 are shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b . It can be seen that the bond broken geometry relaxes the ring strain of the fused ring system of the imidazophenanthridine ligand. The tethering substitution, as shown for invention Compound 1, inhibits the relaxed bond broken geometry, thereby increasing the thermodynamic bond strength of the C—N₁ bond.

Further experimental evidence of the weakness of the C—N₁ bond is shown by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectroscopy (MALDI-MS). MALDI-MS can be used to probe weaknesses in bonds in the excited states of molecules. It is believed that as a measure of photochemical stability, MALDI-MS can simulate some of the conditions found inside an OLED device, where both charged and excited states are present. FIG. 3 shows the MALDI-MS taken in the negative mode for comparative compound 3. The peak for the parent ion is identified at 1529 amu. However the highest intensity peak is found at 1275 amu. This mass corresponds to a fragment of comparative compound 3 where the imidazole ring has lost the mass of two carbons and the terphenyl substitution. The structure of proposed fragment is shown in FIG. 3. The isotopic pattern confirms this fragment contains iridium and is consistent with the chemical formula of the proposed fragment. Further fragments are identified for ligand loss at 1083 amu and imidazole ring decomposition for two ligands at 1020 amu, as shown in FIG. 4. The data suggests that the formation of the major fragment requires the rupture of the C—N₁ bond that is predicted to be a weak bond by calculation.

Photophysical Properties of the Compounds of the Invention

The measured photophysical properties of the invention compounds are reported in the Table 2 below. Complexes were measured at 77K and at room temperature in 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran solvent at highly dilute concentrations. Photoluminescent quantum yields (PLQY, Φ_(PL)) were measured at 1 wt % in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) solid state matrix or 0.4 wt % polystyrene (PS) solid state matrix using a Hamamatsu C9920 system equipped with a xenon lamp, integrating sphere and a model C10027 photonic multi-channel analyzer. PL transient measurements (τ) were carried out by time correlated single photon counting method using a Horiba Jobin Yvon Fluorolog-3 integrated with an IBH datastation hub using a 335 nm nanoLED as the excitation source.

Compound 35 was measured to have deep blue emission, with a highest energy peak at 77 K of 451 nm, however, the PLQY for the complex is only 5%. Compound 49 demonstrates how modifications to the ligand can be used to improve PLQY. The methyl substitution on the imidazole ring has been found to improve the PLQY of non-ethyl bridged phenanthridine imidazole analogues. In addition, methyl substitution on the exterior phenyl ring is shown by calculation to affect the ligand bite angle due to the steric influence of the methyl substituent and the proton on the adjacent aryl ring. This steric effect pushes the phenanthridine imidazole polycyclic ring system geometry closer to the geometry of a non-bridged ligand where the coordinating sites can more closely connect to the metal. This subtle change in the geometry of the ligand allows for a stronger interaction between the metal and neutrally coordinated nitrogen, improving the metal-nitrogen bond strength. It is believed that a stronger metal-nitrogen bond strength can improve the emissivity of a complex by reducing metal-nitrogen bond breaking non-radiative decay. Therefore both methyl substitutions might be responsible for enhancing the PLQY of Compound 49 compared to Compound 35. Compound 49 was measured to have a PLQY of 62% in PMMA matrix, which is very close to the PLQY value of the non-bridged analog, Comparative Compound 6, which is measured to have a PLQY of 68%. In addition, Compound 49 is measured to have a much shorter excited state lifetime at 77 K of 2.9 microseconds, compared to an excited state lifetime of 5.1 microseconds for Compound 35. This further demonstrates that the methyl substituents improved the radiative properties of Compound 49.

Heteroleptic examples with phenylpyrazole ligands (ppz), Compound 48 and Compound 50, are measured to have deep blue emission, but low PLQY. However, the non-bridged reference compound, Comparative Compound 8, is also measured to have a low PLQY of 14%. It is believed that the low efficiency may be due to the weak metal-nitrogen bond of the pyrazole ligand. To further support this assumption, tris Ir(ppz)₃ has been shown in the literature to be non-emissive in room temperature solution, but highly emissive at 77 K. The non emissivity at room temperature is attributed to a weak metal nitrogen bond.

Platinum complexes with bridged phenanthridine imidazole ligands are also found to be highly emissive with deep blue color. Compound 105 and Comparative Compound 7 are both measured to have high PLQY values of 85% and 87%, respectively, in the optically inert polystyrene matrix. Platinum complexes may not require the ligand modifications for improving PLQY as described for the iridium analogue, Compound 49, due to a relatively stronger platinum-nitrogen bond strength compared to iridium.
